Help,sometime in the recent past, my RGB keyboard sort of stopped working, it only works in breathing mode which I am assuming is the default mode when not connected. The keyboard used to work fine, you could only turn it off / on and not control the color but that was better than this on-off breathing mode.
I installed OpenRGB which fails to detect the keyboard and complains that i2c-dev is not installed. I also installed an hp-wmi driver from https://github.com/pelrun/hp-omen-linux-module.git
Neither seemed to work. In trying to debug this I noticed that my Nvidia drivers stopped working as well sometime in the past. They were stuck at v515 when the latest is v525. I installed v525 and it required me to enable / enroll secure boot. I am including Nvidia driver info in case it has relevant info now that I have secure boot enabled,
